Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] On the other hand, since a full harness type safety belt is more expensive than a conventionally used torso belt type safety belt, there has been a desire to store it in an indoor locker when not in use from the viewpoint of preventing theft.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a full harness type safety belt hanger that can be stored in, for example, a locker and suspend and store a full harness type safety belt.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The hanger for a full-body harness type safety belt of the present invention has a shape that extends laterally and comprises a main body that supports the shoulder belt of the full-body harness type safety belt at its upper edge, a suspension locking portion that protrudes upward from the lateral center of the main body and can be hooked onto a storage location, and a pair of bendable pieces provided on both sides of the main body that can be changed between a state that is along the direction of extension of the main body and a state that intersects with the main body, and each of the pair of bendable pieces has a protruding portion that is exposed above the main body when it is in the state that intersects with the direction of extension to prevent the shoulder belt from falling off.

[0007] With this configuration, when suspended from a locker or the like using the suspension locking part, a full-body harness type safety belt can be securely suspended by the main body and the protruding part of the bent piece.

[0008] Furthermore, in the hanger for the full-body harness type safety belt, the upper edge of the main body may have a sloping shape that slopes downward from the lateral center toward both sides.

[0009] With this configuration, the inclined shape of the upper edge of the main body guides the shoulder straps of the full-body harness safety belt to the corner formed by the main body and the protruding part, allowing the full-body harness safety belt to be suspended stably. Furthermore, while the full-body harness safety belt is in use, it can be used without any discomfort as a hanger for the clothes that the worker wears when commuting.

[0010] Furthermore, in the hanger for the full-body harness type safety belt, each of the pair of bent pieces may have a lower branch portion that protrudes laterally inward from below the main body when they are in a state where they intersect in the extending direction.

[0011] With this configuration, the leg straps and lanyards of a full-body harness can be attached to the lower branch, thereby reducing the vertical dimension of the suspended full-body harness.

[0012] Furthermore, in the hanger for the full-body harness type safety belt, the main body may be equipped with a lower hook that protrudes downward.

[0013] This configuration is convenient because, for example, a helmet can be hung on the lower hook.

[0014] Furthermore, in the hanger for the full-body harness type safety belt, the main body may be provided with a nameplate attachment section on the side that faces forward during use.

[0015] With this configuration, the worker who owns the full-body harness type safety belt can be easily identified by displaying their name on the nameplate attachment area. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] Based on the above, the present invention provides a hanger for full-body harness type safety belts that can be stored, for example, in a locker, by suspending the full-body harness type safety belt. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0018] Hereinafter, a hanger for a full-body harness type safety belt according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 4.

[0019] The full-harness type seat belt hanger 1 (hereinafter also referred to as the hanger 1) supports a full-harness type seat belt F including a shoulder belt F1, a torso belt F2, a leg belt F3, a lanyard F4, a hook F5, etc., as shown in FIG. 3. In this full-harness type seat belt F, at least the shoulder belt F1 has a bilaterally symmetric shape, and specifically, the entire seat belt F has a bilaterally symmetric shape. Note that the full-harness type seat belt F in FIG. 3 has two lanyards F4, but it may have only one lanyard, and in this case, the seat belt F has a non-bilaterally symmetric shape.

[0020] Further, the hanger 1 includes a main body portion 2 extending in the lateral direction and a suspended locking portion 3 protruding upward from the lateral center of the main body portion 2. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the hanger 1 includes a pair of bent pieces 4 provided on both side portions 21 (both end portions in the lateral direction) of the main body portion 2.

[0021] The main body portion 2 constitutes the central portion of the hanger 1 in the lateral direction. Also, when the full-harness type seat belt F is hung, the main body portion 2 supports the shoulder belt F1 at the upper edge 20 (see FIG. 3). Further, at this time, the main body portion 2 also supports the hook F5 of the full-harness type seat belt F at the upper edge 20. The main body portion 2 is made of plastic.

[0022] Also, the main body portion 2 extends evenly to the left and right, that is, has a bilaterally symmetric shape. Specifically, the main body portion 2 is a horizontally laid "く" - shaped plate. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the main body portion 2 includes a central portion 22 sandwiched between both side portions in addition to the both side portions 21.

[0023] The central portion 22 is composed of a single plate body 220. Each of the both side portions 21 is composed of two plate bodies 210 that overlap with a gap 211 in the thickness direction of the main body portion 2.

[0024] The two plates 210 are connected at two points aligned horizontally by shafts B1 and B2. In this embodiment, circular holes are provided in the horizontal center and side of the two plates 210, through which the shafts B1 and B2 are inserted, respectively, penetrating the plates 210 in the thickness direction.

[0025] The suspension locking part 3 can be hooked onto a storage location, for example, to a bar or hook inside a locker. The suspension locking part 3 may also be attached to a structure present at the site of use (for example, scaffolding pipes). In this embodiment, the suspension locking part 3 is a hook, but it may also be a clip or the like. Furthermore, the suspension locking part 3 is rotatable in the vertical direction. The suspension locking part 3 is made of metal, but it may also be made of plastic or the like.

[0026] The pair of bendable pieces 4 constitute both sides of the hanger 1. The pair of bendable pieces 4 are attached to the main body 2 in a manner that allows their orientation relative to the main body 2 to be changed. The pair of bendable pieces 4 can be changed between a state that is aligned with the direction in which the main body 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction) (see Figure 2) and a state that intersects with the direction in which the main body 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction) (see Figure 1). In other words, the pair of bendable pieces 4 can be changed between a state that extends in the diagonal lateral direction and a state that extends in a direction that intersects the diagonal lateral direction. The pair of bendable pieces 4 are made of plastic.

[0027] Each of the pair of bent pieces 4 has a projection 41 that is exposed above the main body 2 when it intersects with the main body 2 in the direction of extension (diagonal lateral direction) (see Figure 1). In this embodiment, each of the pair of bent pieces 4 has a main body portion 40 extending from the projection 41. Furthermore, each of the pair of bent pieces 4 has a downward branch portion 42 extending from the edge of the main body portion 40 opposite to the edge from which the projection 41 extends. That is, in this bent piece 4, the projection 41 is provided at one end of the main body portion 40, and the downward branch portion 42 is provided at the other end of the main body portion 40. Also, each part 40, 41, and 42 are continuous and form a single integrated member. In this embodiment, each of the pair of bent pieces 4 is in the shape of a roughly L-shaped plate. The pair of bent pieces 4 are the same size and shape, but their size and shape may differ.

[0028] The protruding portion 41 is a part that prevents the shoulder strap F1 from falling off. The protruding portion 41 is a long, plate-shaped part. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the protruding portion 41 is housed within the gaps 211 between the side portions 21 of the main body 2 (in this embodiment, the gaps 211 between the side portions 21) when the bent piece 4 is aligned with the direction in which the main body 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction). In addition to being housed within the side portions 21 when the bent piece 4 is aligned with the direction in which the main body 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction), the protruding portion 41 may also overlap the front or back surface of the side portions 21.

[0029] In the hanger 1 described above, when suspended from a locker or the like using the suspension locking part 3, the full-body harness type safety belt F can be securely suspended by the main body part 2 and the protruding part 41 of the bent piece 4 which is positioned to intersect with the direction in which the main body part 2 extends (diagonally sideways).

[0030] In this embodiment, an elongated hole H is provided at the base end of the protruding portion 41 (the end closest to the main body portion 40), through which the protruding portion 41 penetrates in the thickness direction and through which B2 is inserted. This elongated hole H extends in the vertical direction when the bent piece 4 intersects with the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal horizontal direction). Also, this elongated hole H extends in the diagonal horizontal direction when it is aligned with the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal horizontal direction) (see Figure 2).

[0031] Furthermore, the tip of the protruding portion 41 (the end furthest from the main body portion 40) is provided with a recess 410 that extends vertically when the bent piece 4 intersects with the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction) (see Figure 1). This recess 410 extends diagonally lateral when the bent piece 4 is aligned with the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction). In this embodiment, the recess 410 is provided inside the hook-shaped portion of the tip of the protruding portion 41, which is formed in a hook shape. Also, when the bent piece 4 intersects with the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction), the protruding portion 41 forms a corner portion 43 together with both sides 21 of the main body portion 2. In this configuration, the shoulder belt F1 of the full-body harness type safety belt F is held in place by biting into a part of the recess 410.

[0032] The main body portion 40 is a long, plate-shaped part. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 3, the main body portion 40 protrudes downward from the main body portion 2 when the bent piece 4 intersects with the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction). In addition, when the bent piece 4 is aligned with the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction), the main body portion 40 protrudes laterally from the main body portion 2, specifically, diagonally outward from the main body portion 2.

[0033] The lower branch portion 42 protrudes downward from the main body portion 2 when the bent piece 4 is aligned with the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction) (see Figure 2). Also, when the bent piece 4 intersects with the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction), the lower branch portion 42 protrudes downward from the main body portion 2 and laterally inward (see Figure 1). In this state, by hooking the thigh belts F3 and lanyard F4 of the full-body harness type safety belt F onto the lower branch portion 42, the vertical dimension of the suspended safety belt F can be reduced (see Figure 3). Therefore, even if the height of the storage location (locker, etc.) is low, the full-body harness type safety belt F can be easily stored. In addition, by hooking the thigh belts F3 and lanyard F4 onto the lower branch portion 42, it is possible to prevent the thigh belts F3 and lanyard F4 from getting tangled or entangled with other belts.

[0034] In this embodiment, the lower branch portion 42 is a long, plate-shaped part. When the bent piece 4 intersects the direction in which the main body portion 2 extends (diagonal horizontal direction), the edge 420 that constitutes the upper edge of the lower branch portion 42 extends horizontally. Furthermore, the extended end (tip) of the lower branch portion 42 has a shape in which the width dimension (dimension perpendicular to the longitudinal direction) is large. This prevents the thigh belt F3 or lanyard F4 hooked onto the lower branch portion 42 from falling off. In addition, multiple protrusions 421 for anti-slip purposes are provided on the edge 420 of the lower branch portion 42. This makes it difficult for the thigh belt F3 or lanyard F4 hooked onto the lower branch portion 42 to slip off.

[0035] When the folded piece 4 is positioned so that it intersects with the direction in which the main body 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction), the upper end portion of the surface defining the elongated hole H of the protruding portion 41 catches on the shaft portion B2. This fixes the orientation of the folded piece 4 relative to the main body 2. To change the orientation of the folded piece 4 relative to the main body 2 from this state, the protruding portion 41 is moved upward, and the protruding portion 41 is rotated laterally inward to fit the shaft portion B1 into the recess 410 of the protruding portion 41. This causes the folded piece 4 to align with the direction in which the main body 2 extends (diagonal lateral direction), and the orientation of the folded piece 4 relative to the main body 2 is fixed.

[0036] In this embodiment, the upper edge 20 of the main body 2 is shaped to slope downward from the lateral center toward both sides 21. As a result, the sloping upper edge 20 guides the shoulder belts F1 of the full-body harness type safety belt F to the corner 43 formed by the main body 2 and the protruding part 41, allowing the hanger 1 to stably suspend the full-body harness type safety belt F. Furthermore, since the sloping upper edge 20 of the main body 2 is shaped in the same way as a general hanger for hanging clothes, as shown in Figure 4, it can be used without any discomfort as a hanger for clothes C worn by workers during their commute while the full-body harness type safety belt F is in use.

[0037] In this embodiment, the main body 2 is equipped with a lower hook 23 that protrudes downward. This lower hook 23 is convenient because, for example, a helmet can be hung on it. Alternatively, the worker may hang a hat they were wearing when commuting or the handle of a bag they were carrying on their trip on the lower hook 23.

[0038] Furthermore, the main body 2 is provided with a nameplate attachment section 25 on the front surface 24 when in use. The nameplate attachment section 25 is a part on which a nameplate can be attached with adhesive, but it may also be a pocket into which a nameplate can be inserted. With this configuration, it is easy to identify the worker by displaying their name on the nameplate attachment section 25. For example, when using multiple hangers 1 to hang in a storage area such as a locker, it is easy to identify the owner of the full-body safety harness F or clothing C hanging on the hanger 1. Alternatively, the name may be written directly on the part of the main body 2 where the nameplate attachment section 25 is provided using an oil-based pen or the like.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, since a pair of bent pieces 4 of the same size and shape are provided on both sides 21 of the main body 2 which has a symmetrical shape, a full-body harness type safety belt F in which at least the shoulder belts F1 have a symmetrical shape can be held in a balanced manner.

[0040] It should be noted that the hanger for full-body harness type safety belts of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the configuration of one embodiment can be added to the configuration of another embodiment, and a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be replaced with the configuration of another embodiment. Furthermore, a part of the configuration of one embodiment can be deleted.

[0041] In the above embodiment, the upper edge 20 of the main body 2 was given an inclined shape that sloped downward from the lateral center toward both sides 21, but it may also be a horizontal shape (not inclined).

[0042] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, the main body 2 was equipped with a lower hook 23 and a nameplate mounting portion 25, but it is not necessary to have at least one of these.

[0043] In the above embodiment, the bent piece 4 comprises a main body portion 40, a protruding portion 41, and a lower branch portion 42, but the lower branch portion 42 may be omitted. For example, the bent piece 4 may be a long plate-shaped member composed of a main body portion 40 and a protruding portion 41.

[0044] Furthermore, the material of the hanger 1 is not limited to that of the above embodiment. For example, at least a part of the hanger 1 may be made of wood. [Explanation of Symbols]
